Peter Capaldi & Steven Moffat have shared their opinions on a potential return for Gallifrey!In an interview with io9, Capaldi spoke on the Doctor’s determination to locate his home planet: “I think he does absolutely want to find Gallifrey. It’s a duty. In some ways, the Doctor is quite an old-fashioned character. He does have a recognition of duties and loyalties, but these are things that are deep-set in him. I don’t think he’ll ever feel satisfied that Gallifrey is safe until he finds it. And of course, he is still riven with guilt about what he’s put Gallifrey through.”

Moffat was asked what the Doctor’s reasons for wanting to go back home would be, considering things with the High Council didn’t exactly end well: “It’s not all horrible is it. If we’re going to be all judged by the standards of our governments, we’re all screwed, aren’t we? There are loads of nice people on Gallifrey. What about the people who worked in the kitchens? What about the people that worked on the farms? They’re not responsible for that and the Doctor would know that.”

“If the Doctor does ever find Gallifrey, some people are in for an arse-kicking,” Moffat added. “But he knows—he knows!—that it’s not people like us, the sad scum of the Earth, on Gallifrey, who are responsible for the terrible crimes of the High Council. And just remember that the High Council was always sort of terrible, even on the classic series.”

Meanwhile, Michelle Gomez has said that Missy knows for certain where Gallifrey is located.

Doctor Who will return with Series 9 on Saturday, 19th September on BBC One.
